Ketone Bilirubin And Blood Flashcards
are the intermediate products of fat metabolism
Ketone bodies
Ketone bodies are the intermediate products of ___________ metabolism
fat metabolism
Ketone bodies includes 3 fat metabolism
Acetone, acetoacetic acid and beta hydroxybutyric acid
Measurable amounts of ketones do not appear in the urine because of the
complete metabolism of fats into _______ and _________
Carbon dioxide and water
Ketone bodies apppear in the urine when there is an ________________ (increase or decrease) in fat metabolism.
Increase
This can be seen in the following conditions: ketone bodies
- inability to metabolize carbohydrates (Diabetes mellitus)
- increased loss of carbohydrate (vomiting)
- inadequate intake of carbohydrate (starvation and weight reduction)
Ketone bodies can be detected in ______
Urine
is employed in the analysis of ketone bodies In this reaction, acetoacetic acid in an alkaline medium will react with sodium
nitroprusside to produce a purple color.
Nitroprusside reaction
Nitroprusside reaction is employed in the analysis of ketone bodies In this
reaction, acetoacetic acid in an alkaline medium will react with sodium
nitroprusside to produce a ________________.
purple color
This reaction does not measure beta-hydroxybutyric acid and is only slightly
sensitive to __________
Acetone
The different tests employing this type of reaction are: ketone bodies
- reagent strip
- acetest
- Legal’s test
- Rothera’s test.
also determined using Gerhardt’s test
